Football World Cup Qualifier: Estonia vs. Belgium

I was invited to a World Cup qualifying match where Belgium (FIFA rank no. 5) hosted Estonia (FIFA rank no. 122) here in Brussels.  







My lasting memory is HUGE energy from a crown that alternated between 4-5 different songs, including one song which was only the Belgium Captain's sung over and over again:

EDen hazard
eden hazard
EDen, EDen, EDen haZARD!!!!

The beer was reasonably priced. 2.50/cup

Also in person, no instant replays on the big screen at all.   I was told this was to keep the crowd calm in case of a bad call.
